"The story of 1922 – at least for a little while – is about a father and son bonding, with the terrible caveat that they are doing so through a mutual plan to murder their wife/mother. Australian filmmaker Zak Hilditch, adapting a Stephen King novella, renders misogyny as something passed down with chilling ambivalence by pappa, in the manner of a rite of passage – like playing catch in the yard or the throwing a mortarboard in the air during graduation."
